ISO-17025 Accredited Testing Laboratory
Explanation of Results
Biobased Analysis using ASTM-D6866-11
The results provided in this report are uniquely applicable to the analyzed material and are reported using the designated labeling provided with the sample. Although analytical precision is typically 0.1 to 0.5 pMC, empirical data has demonstrated that indeterminant errors can introduce uncertainty to 2 to 3 pMC. As such, ASTM-D6866 cites an uncertainty of +/- 3 % (absolute) on each result. Remember the results only relate carbon source, not mass source. A reported percentage does not represent to the total mass of fossil vs. renewable components present. Only the amount of renewable carbon vs fossil carbon present is indicated.
Beta Analytic, as a carbon dating lab, revolutionized the fields of archaeology and late quaternary geology. Prior to the company's inception in 1979, radiocarbon dates were scarce and available only through small university laboratories. It took months and sometimes years to obtain carbon dating results. Beta Analytic’s commitment to meet the scientific community’s demand for accurate carbon dating analysis led to immediate success. Supply created demand, and the task became one of meeting that demand for high-quality carbon 14 dating services. The company’s success comes from recognizing a scientific need then employing a management philosophy to satisfy that need. Dedication to accuracy is at the core of its policies. By innovating new techniques, keeping abreast of the latest technology, and training qualified scientists to stay ahead of demand, Beta Analytic has maintained its firm commitment to quality over the years.
